Mobile Application Penetration Testing Services
Mobile applications handle sensitive personal and business data — and attackers know it. GoAgile delivers rigorous mobile application penetration testing across iOS and Android platforms, simulating real-world attacks to uncover vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
Four-Stage Mobile Testing Methodology
Our methodology follows a structured four-stage process — from intelligence gathering through to exploitation and reporting — aligned with OWASP Mobile Top 10 and industry best practices.
Discovery & Intelligence Gathering
Understand the application’s design, architecture, and data flow — using open-source intelligence and static analysis to build a complete picture of the attack surface before testing begins.
What you receive: Application profile, architecture overview, attack surface map, initial risk observations.
App Analysis & Assessment
Employ static analysis (code without execution), dynamic analysis (runtime behaviour), reverse engineering, and inter-application communication assessment to identify weaknesses across the codebase.
What you receive: Static and dynamic analysis findings, reverse engineering report, identified vulnerability catalogue.
Testing & Exploitation
Simulate real-world attack scenarios across authentication, data storage, network communication, and platform-specific controls — safely exploiting discovered vulnerabilities to confirm impact.
What you receive: Proof-of-concept evidence, exploitability confirmation, risk-rated vulnerability list.
Reporting & Remediation Guidance
Deliver a comprehensive report covering all findings, risk ratings, and prioritised remediation guidance — with an executive summary for management and detailed technical guidance for developers.
What you receive: Management executive summary, technical findings report, prioritised remediation roadmap, retest included.
Mobile Security Testing Coverage
Network Communication Security
Assess data in transit for encryption weaknesses, test for man-in-the-middle attack vulnerabilities, and evaluate network security controls protecting data exchanged between the app and backend services.
Data Storage & Encryption
Verify how the application stores sensitive data locally — checking encryption standards, data resilience, secure deletion practices, and protection of credentials, tokens, and personal data at rest on the device.
Authentication & Session Management
Test user authentication mechanisms, session token handling, multi-factor authentication implementation, and authorisation controls — identifying privilege escalation opportunities and session hijacking risks.
Architecture & Platform Security
Evaluate the application’s overall architecture, component interactions, platform permission usage, and adherence to iOS and Android security guidelines — identifying design-level vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that automated scanners routinely miss.
Tailored testing approaches
| Approach | What it simulates | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|
| Black Box | An external attacker with zero knowledge of the application's internals | External-facing apps, pre-launch assessments |
| Grey Box | A compromised insider or threat actor with partial access (credentials, architectural overview) | Post-authentication flows, privilege escalation testing |
| White Box | Full access to source code, architecture diagrams, and environment details | Deep-dive code review, CI/CD pipeline integration, maximum coverage |
Mobile security tested the way attackers think.
Our mobile security practice combines specialist expertise with structured methodology — delivering findings that developers can act on and executives can understand.
iOS & Android Coverage
Full coverage across both major mobile platforms — including native apps, hybrid frameworks, and mobile APIs — with testing aligned to OWASP Mobile Top 10 and platform-specific security guidelines.
Human-Led, Not Tool-Dependent
Automated scanners catch the obvious. Our consultants find the logic flaws, business-layer vulnerabilities, and chained exploits that scanners consistently miss.
Developer-Ready Reporting
Every finding includes a clear description, proof-of-concept evidence, and actionable remediation guidance written for developers — plus a retest to confirm fixes before the engagement closes.
